Brownies Celebrate Great American SmokeOut 
                   

Did you hear us scream? The members of 2nd Grade Brownie Troop 180 (Helping Hands for Hudson) took part in the American Cancer Society's Great American SmokeScream. The girls screamed as loud as they could so that everyone in Hudson would hear that they pledged not to start smoking! Thanks to funding from United Way, the Brownies purchased two copies of a print showing healthy lungs and blacked smoker lungs. These framed prints were presented to both Mrs. Godfrey at Lincoln Elementary and Mrs. Johnston at Sacred Heart School in honor of the 2007 Great American SmokeOut. The prints will be hung up at both schools so all of the students can see the dangers of smoking.

THANK YOU United Way for helping us help Hudson!
